Wasn't I just here?

I'm back at work, trying not to fall asleep over my data entry. Just got an interesting call about stolen prescription pads, though, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

Went to baby Tallis' naming ceremony today, and while I was stupidly tired and a little dazed, I had a very good time. The ceremony was lovely and touching, and I started weeping about 1/4 of the way through jteethy's speech and didn't stop until the very end, when ashforestwalker read a lovely poem about advice from a tree. Everyone got to present a small, symbolic gift to Tallis, either a poem or a small object that captured something intangible that we wished for her to have in life.

Tallis was remarkably well-behaved throughout, and at the end pasley thanked her for not crying. I pointed out to owldaughter that Tallis was just about the only one who didn't cry during the ceremony. :P

The time came all too soon for me to go, however, and I didn't get much of a chance to talk to anyone. It was a busy event (Tallis is a popular girl!) and I was in a bit of a daze anyway. I stopped at a local dépanneur for milk and cream (the annoying people at the office finished it all and forgot to order more), and then walked to work. Luckily for me, the ceremony was being held about six blocks away from RCMP headquarters.

I hear a fax coming in. Back to the grindstone.

That went better than expected

One hour and forty-five minutes to go, and I appear to have weathered the shift quite well. I had major energy shortage between 20:00 and 23:00, and almost fell asleep a few times, but apart from that I'm doing really well. I'm awake and pretty alert, and generally pleased with how I've handled this shift.

My current shift partner has been a doll this night. He's been really quiet and hasn't expected me to make conversation, although we did bond over a not-very-good murder mystery that was running on MPIX for a while.

I have also managed to get my two gaming write-ups done for Incarnate III during the times when I wasn't busy and I was sick of data entry, and that means that I can go home and sleep for most of the morning! YAY! Four hours of sleep isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing and ought to keep me going until I get home tonight.

In case, dear flist, you're wondering what Phnee has been smoking lately, in order to be posting so often, I have made a mini-resolution to "catch up" on all my internet-related things in February. So I'm aiming for one LJ post a day, and one post per Skywatch character per week (minimum). The next few weeks are going to be busy, work-wise, but I'm not working nights again until March, so I'm hoping that that will help me gain an even keel for a while.

More later!
